WEBVTT EE OO WELCOM WELCOME BACK IT IS HOLIDAY BRUNCH. WE ASKED PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE TO BRING SOMETHING SPECIAL TO THEM. IT IS AVENUE YAW MAR -- AVA MARIE. GOOD TO BE HERE ON THE WEEKEND. REALLY AVA? IT WAS FUN TO COME IN AND COOK THIS. EVERY TIME I SIGN UP FOR THE COOKING SEGMENTS I THINK WHY DO I DO THIS? I AM NOT A COOK. THIS IS ALL A DISTRACTION. I BROUGHT LOTS OF PROPS TO TRY TO DISTRACT YOU. I AM IMPRESSED BY THE WHOLE GET UP. THIS IS A RECIPE THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME. IT IS VERY SIMPLE. CREAMED EGGS ON TOAST. IT MAY BE SOMETHING YOU HAVE TRIED BEFORE MAYBE YOUR GRANDMA USED TO COOK IT. THIS HAS BEEN PASSED ON BY MY GRANDMA. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO. WE ARE GOING TO START BY MAKING A LITTLE BIT OF A GRAVY. KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU MAKE BISCUITS AND GRAVY. I AM GOING TO MELT THE BUTTER. REALLY EASY TO MAKE THE GRAVY. TO DOUBLE IT WHATEVER YOU WANT. ALL YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS PROPORTIONS. TWO TABLESPOONS OF BUTTER TWO TABLESPOONS FLOUR AND ONE CUP OF MILK. 2, 2, 1. IF YOU WANT TO DOUBLE IT TIMES IT BY TWO. I AM GOING TO DO A SMALLER VERSION SO IT COOKS FASTER. MELTING THE BUTTER RIGHT THERE. I WAS LAUGHING AT THE MATH. PRACTICE ON A SATURDAY. INSTEAD OF MEAT LIKE YOU WOULD HAVE IN BISCUITS AND GRAVY WE ARE DOING BOILED EGGS. YOU HAVE TO COOK THE EGGS AHEAD OF TIME. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE READY TO GO. SLICE THE EGGS AND I AM GOING TO GRAB THE FLOUR SO I CAN MAKE THE GRAVY. HAVE YOU EVER SLICED EGGS? YOU HAVE A GADGET YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED BUT YOU DO. LAST WEEK WITH MIRI IT WAS A DISASTER. SHE GAVE ME A HARD CHORE. MIRI IS SUCH A GOOD BAKER. THIS IS HARDLY ANY COOKING FOLLOWING UP AFTER HER. HOW MANY? SIX OF THEM FOR NOW. I AM MELTING THE BUTTER PUTTING IN THE FLOUR TWO TABLESPOONS WITH TWO TABLESPOONS BUTTER. I AM GOING TO STIR IT AROUND UNTIL IT IS WELL MIXED. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THERE. YOU ARE BARELY COOKING THE FLOUR. I HEARD THAT MAYBE THAT KIND OF TAKES OUT SOME OF THE RAW FLAVOR IN THE FLOUR WHEN YOU COOK IT. YOU DON'T WANT TO BROWN IT LIKE OTHER GRAVIES. YOU BARELY MIX THAT UP. THEN WE ARE GOING TO ADD THE MILK. NO CLUMPS. WE DON'T LIKE CLUMPS AROUND HERE. MY GRAVY HAS CLUMPS IN IT. AVA DO YOU COOK A LOT? I DO NOT. THIS IS TOTALLY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE. I CAN FOLLOW SOME RECIPES. I CANNOT BAKE BECAUSE IT HAS TOO MUCH CHEMISTRY IN IT. YOU HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT. I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ZIPPING AROUND ME HERE. I LOVE THAT YOU BROUGHT YOUR OWN TOASTER. YOU CAN COOK FOR A WHOLE FAMILY WITH THIS THING. IT GETS THE JOB DONE. THIS WILL TAKE LONGER THAN I THOUGHT. WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS RECIPE? IT IS A GREAT WAY TO USE UP INGREDIENTS. YOU HAVE EGGS LEFTOVER YOU HAVE BREAD YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE INGREDIENTS WITH YOUR HOUSE AND THEY ARE LEFTOVER. I LOVE YOUR SLICING. ALL RIGHT AVA WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO EATING THESE CREAMED EGGS. WE ARE ALL HUNGRY. WE ARE. SO ESSENTIALLY ONCE THIS THICKENS UP YOU THROW THE BOILED EGGS IN IT POUR IT ON THE GRAVY THROW IT ON THE TOAST YOU ARE GOOD TO GO. HOW LONG DO YOU BOIL THE EGGS FOR? JUST ENOUGH TO HEAT IT UP. I TOLD YOU COULDN'T COOK.
